Yea, it would seem it is me... and I have a feeling that it is likely due to myself not following MY OWN INSTRUCTIONS during the miner GUI installation... (facepalm).

But the other issue I had with my other system is resolved with a new copy of the wallet, and I've got a feeling I can reinstall the GUI wallet on this computer and my issue will dissipate.



On another note....


[ANNOUNCEMENT] - BURST.ninja pool modifications

It has come to our attention that certain miners were not paying out as they should have... This was very surprising, as the pool has never experienced any issues within the payout system.

Upon some searching by our amazing infrastructure dev, haitch, he has discovered that the pool's statistics code that sends messages to users with the block numbers they received payment from within a specific payout (one of the many implemented statistics upgrades that aims to give more detail in an easier to use way to our miners) has been getting backed up in certain cases when the miner doesn't get payouts for an extended period of time, thus causing the txt sent in the stat message to exceed the txt character limit within BURST's messaging system.

We are currently cloning the server VM over to another host in order to diagnose and repair the issue. None of the payouts that haven't been sent, are lost. They are simply awaiting the ability to be processed without error.

Once this is resolved, I'm hoping to at the same time, move the server over permanently to haitch's new amazing cluster of sweet hardware, and allow for an extremely extended capacity for miners to the pool, as well as a large performance increase.

Not 100% certain if the new cluster is available yet, but it will be very soon if not now, so we'll just have to see! But either way, the issue is being resolved, and the pool should experience little to no downtime during the repair. Thanks!

Sounds awesome I will have to check it out when you get it all transfered over.  Keep us posted.

Also on the next cycle I wanna get with ya Haitch and see what we can do for the Playground on one of your clusters.

Bigger plots with bigger staggers get faster read rates overall. Your USB drive might be plugged into a usb 1/2 port on your PC, you could try
buying a PCI-Ex usb3 expansion card which can help with the read rates.

Another more drastic option is to remove the hard drive from the usb casing and install it like a normal internal sata drive.

Thanks for the info. Drive is plugged up to a USB3 Port. As a matter of interest what sort of reported MB/s are other people getting with an external USB3 Drive?

Yes I had considered that, my Laptop has NVIDIA Quadro 1000M Graphics, however the problem was that I could not work out from the available instructions how to get it running...

We are doing pretty nice, we have almost earned 0.002 bitcoins. This is 1% of the asset holders funds in bitcoin.
Note: More assets have been sold and added to the investment. The bitcoin value of the asset were 0.00129299, which means our total investment is not at 0.30930103BTC. Any bitcoins above the investment is payed to asset holders at end of month.

This time I recommend a deinstall of the old version. The new version will be installed in:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\BurstWallet  (folder is hidden)

You have to copy your passphrase(s) and the blockchain (burst_db folder) fromprogram files (x86)/BURST Wallet/
to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\BurstWallet  if you want to keep them.

New users don't have to mind. Install and go...

The pool fix has been applied and all the stuck payouts have now been processed.

Nice work all this one and the past release really make it easier and user friendly. I have notice a much improved plotting time and quicker interface.
